I was just being snarky.
Yeah, me too. It might be of use come Windows 8, which
supports
multitouch throughout the new Metro interface. :?)
Oh neat, Microsoft has now "invented" a multi-touch user interface? Wow!
Having said that, Microsoft's Surface had a
working prototype in 2003
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Surface) of a multi-touch
interface, this predates the iPhone by a couple of years...
Indeed, I remember that demo. It was pretty good stuff!
